Item 4. Description of Securities

The class of securities to be offered hereby is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s authorized capitalization is 99,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 each. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters submitted to vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and therefore, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members of the board of directors. The Company’s board of directors has authority, without action by the shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which would reduce the percentage ownership of the Company of its shareholders and would dilute the book value of the common stock.

Shareholders have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock. The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after the satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. During the last two fiscal years, the Company has not paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

The law office of Kimberly L. Graus, P.A. and Kimberly L. Graus, Esq. has rendered legal services and prepared this Form S-8.

Pender Newkirk & Company LLP consents to the incorporation by reference of their report on the audited financial statements contained in the Form 10-KSB filed for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at our request. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Registrant to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee.

To the extent permitted under Nevada statutes, the Registrant may limit, through indemnification, the personal liability of their directors or officers in actions, claims or proceedings brought against such person by reason of that person’s current or former status as an officer or director of the corporation. We may indemnify our directors or officers if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was, at least, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In the event of a criminal action or proceeding, indemnification is not available if the person had reasonable cause to believe their action was unlawful.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

Item 9. Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

 

  (i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than twenty percent (20%) change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

  (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities offered at that time to shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

 

  (3) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time Commission declared it effective.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a Court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Deland, State of Florida on September 16, 2008.
